- [the DPD has thrown Annie a surprise birthday party]
- Annie Walker: So, the sudden craving for chai?
- Auggie Anderson: Subterfuge.
- Annie Walker: Auggie, you are six whole days off. You don't need subterfuge, you need a calendar.
- Auggie Anderson: Oh.
- Annie Walker: Unless... you know some reason why I won't be here next week to celebrate.
- Joan Campbell: [enters] Annie.
- [Annie whirls around, knows this is what it's about]
- Joan Campbell: A word in my office when you're done here.
- Annie Walker: [meaningful glance] Auggie...
- [shakes her head]
- Annie Walker: You're sending me to Paris?
- Joan Campbell: See, now I'm already having second thoughts.
- Annie Walker: But... you just gave me the assignment.
- Joan Campbell: Yeah, but you've got that look.
- Annie Walker: Look? What look?
- Joan Campbell: The look that every female operative gets the first time I send her to Paris.
- [Annie is trying to initiate contact with a potential CIA asset]
- Annie Walker: I think... I have an opening. Nineteenth century portraits.
- Auggie Anderson: You call that an opening?
- Annie Walker: Got any good conversation starters?
- Auggie Anderson: Yeah, I do, actually, but they all require that you not be able to see.
- Joan Campbell: I don't want a postponement.
- Auggie Anderson: You know, I can do that thing with the guy with the strings getting pulled. One phone call.
- Joan Campbell: It's my civic duty.
- Auggie Anderson: Okay, but what if you get stuck on some O.J.-like trial? You could be sequestered for weeks.
- Joan Campbell: I'm not gonna be sequestered, because I won't even be selected.
- Auggie Anderson: You don't know that.
- Joan Campbell: If you were on trial, would you want me on your jury?
- Auggie Anderson: Can I take the Fifth on that one?
- Salma Devrient: I'm pretty sure Annie works with the CIA. And if I had to guess, George here, it's not your real name, is it? It's probably... MI-6? You seem too Jewish to be an actual Mossad officer.
- Eyal Lavine: [offended] Too Jewish?
- Salma Devrient: [in back of taxi] If I'm right, I will be waiting for your offers. If I'm wrong,
- [looks at Eyal]
- Salma Devrient: well, it was fun while it lasted.
- [purses her mouth, as taxi stops and Eyal gets out, and she follows]
- Annie Walker: [as a disgruntled Eyal climbs back in] I totally didn't see that coming, did you?
- Eyal Lavine: What is it about you Americans that brings out the worst in everyone you meet?
- [Annie sighs, him too, and they both avoid looking at each other]
- Auggie Anderson: [trans-Atlantic phone call] And what did it cost to lay this Freudian trap of yours?
- Annie Walker: [matter-of-factly] Six thousand.
- Auggie Anderson: Six - six thousand euros for a pocketbook?
- Jai Wilcox: It's actually not bad. Full retail's close to seven.
- Auggie Anderson: [dismayed] Can you return it when you're done, or - or convert it into a *condo?*
- Annie Walker: [smiles] You're obviously not a woman. Joan will understand the underlying psychology.
- Joan Campbell: [enters] No. Joan would not understand.
- Annie Walker: Oh! Hey, Joan.
- Annie Walker: [Salma knew she was being played] I totally didn't see that coming. Did you?
- Eyal Lavine: What is it about you Americans that brings out the worst in everyone you meet?
- [Annie has no answer to this]
